Moses and the Man from Mars

The Junior Readers Series is designed to encourage reading for pleasure and to meet the supplementary reading needs of upper primary school children.

In Moses and the Man From Mars, Mukibi’s boys come face to face with a Martian or do they? A book that every upper primary school pupil must read.
